10.Mighty Barrolle            22   7  3 12  24-30  24  [P]  Relegated
11.Invincible Eleven          22   4  3 15  22-45  15  [N]  Relegated
12.ELWA United                22   2  8 12  16-45  14       Relegated

NB: Invincible Eleven reinstated after sitting out the 2015/16 season due to being
      refused a license;
    the round 19 match between Fassell and LPRC Oilers was awarded one month after
      the end of the season, causing the relegation of Mighty Barrolle (who had
      profited from a similar award in round 14); a protest by Mighty Barrolle
      against their relegation (claiming LPRC Oilers had used two ineligible
      Guinean players against them on Jul 24) was finally rejected in August 2018;
    on their facebook page the league proudly proclaimed on Aug 29 that overall,
      264 matches had resulted in 300 goals scored, 272 goals conceded, 95 wins, 
      73 draws and 96 defeats; clearly, arithmetic is not their strong point
      (apart from the discrepancies between wins and defeats, and goals scored
      and conceded, only 132 matches were played).

NB: on Jul 24, four matches were awarded 0-2 losses against Fassell which they had won on
    the field, all due to fielding suspended players: those of rounds 11 and 12 (both against
    Watanga), 14 (against Mighty Barrolle) and 17 (against Jubilee); also MC Breweries had
    one match (the 1-1 draw in round 18 against LISCR) awarded a 0-2 loss against them; the
    match from round 15 between Fassell and LISCR had been awarded earlier (on May 31); the
    match from round 19 between LPRC Oilers and Fassell was awarded one month after the end
    of the season (Sep 9) causing the relegation of Mighty Barrolle instead of LPRC Oilers.

NB: Invincible Eleven reinstated after sitting out the 2015/16 season due to being
      refused a license;
    the round 19 match between Fassell and LPRC Oilers was awarded one month after
      the end of the season, causing the relegation of Mighty Barrolle (who had
      profited from a similar award in round 14); a protest by Mighty Barrolle
      against their relegation (claiming LPRC Oilers had used two ineligible
      Guinean players against them on Jul 24) was finally rejected in August 2018;
    on their facebook page the league proudly proclaimed on Aug 29 that overall,
      264 matches had resulted in 300 goals scored, 272 goals conceded, 95 wins, 
      73 draws and 96 defeats; clearly, arithmetic is not their strong point
      (apart from the discrepancies between wins and defeats, and goals scored
      and conceded, only 132 matches were played).

Promoted: NPA Anchors, Small Town FC, Nimba FC
          (second level champions Barrack Young Controllers II not eligible for promotion)
